New Orleans is known as a haven for wild fun and debauchery during its famous Mardi Gras celebrations. But for Nicolas Cage, things seemed to get a little out of control, when a recent night there ended with him being escorted back to his hotel by the police.

On Friday evening, the Hollywood actor visited the upscale restaurant Stella, where authorities were called after a window was broken. According to the New Orleans Police Department, Cage was then taken back to his nearby hotel for his "own safety".

"We can confirm that we did respond to an incident at that location on Friday night at around 10.45pm and that Mr Cage needed some assistance to go back to his hotel", Officer Juan Barnes tells RadarOnline.com. "A window was found to be broken at the restaurant but the owners decided it was an internal matter and that they would handle it. There was no formal complaint or charge written-up".

Police could not confirm whether Cage had been drinking on the night of the incident. In December, Cage had another night end badly, when he was caught on tape outside a club in Bucharest, Romania, swearing loudly and behaving aggressively.
